Enough Rope interview

Aired on 20 June 2005 ahead of his June-July 2005 tour, Cooper had a wide-ranging interview for Australian television's Enough Rope with interviewer of celebrities, Andrew Denton. Cooper discussed: his 'cure' and subsequent abstinence from alcohol for 24 years and subsequent obsession with golf, the shock value of his shows (saying that "all the rest were Peter Pan and I decided to be Captain Hook"), being a Christian, and the nature of his relationship with Groucho Marx (who saw his shows as vaudeville) and Salvador Dalí (who saw his shows as "surrealistic"), his support for George W. Bush, and his social and work relationship with his family. transcript

ANDREW DENTON: But you must be disappointed. The whole business of being a teenager is to rebel against your parents..

ALICE COOPER: I know. It's really true though. I think we all watch everybody else's kids rebel and then my kids go, "Ah, I'm not into that." My daughter comes home and she says, "You know what the problem is, dad? You're cooler than my friends." She says, "I wish I could say you weren't but you are. You're cooler than my friends."
